Granahan Investment Management’s Q2 2026 Focused Growth Strategy letter highlights Kura Sushi USA (KRUS) as a noteworthy pick. The stock dropped about 18% amid leadership changes after CFO Jeff Uttz departed and CEO Hajime Uba served in the interim, amid investor focus on AI exposure. Fundamentals, however, remain intact: full-year comp sales guidance was raised, restaurant margins were maintained, and Kura continues to grow restaurant units at 20%+ with a path to roughly 300 locations. Scale is seen as helping absorption of cost inflation with only modest price increases, strengthening value for customers. GIM disclosed adding to the position on weakness and labeled KRUS an average-sized holding. As of late September 2026, the stock traded around the high $30s, reflecting ongoing sentiment volatility despite a long runway for U.S. unit growth. Long-term unit-growth potential and solid fundamentals offset near-term leadership changes and sentiment toward AI exposure.
